Inkblot Art Academy Tips and Best Spots

Inkblot Art Academy Tips
Secure the central platform and use it to ink turf and splat enemies below. Paint the sides of the stage. Always keep an eye out for enemies. Ink the enemy's base.

Secure the Central Platform

The tall platform at the center of the stage is a good vantage point. If you're confident with your aim, do your best to secure this platform and camp your opponents before they can even reach your base.

This platform also obstructs players' views so if you're on the ground, you can also use this platform to ambush enemies coming from the enemy side.

Paint the Sides of the Stage

Don't forget to paint the sides of the central area of the stage to cover more ground. Each side has a few things in it that you can use as an obstruction when running away or if you're trying to ambush an enemy.

If your team is winning, secure the central platform and splat enemies on the sides from a higher ground. If your team is losing, do your best to ambush the enemy team from the side using point sensors, autobombs, tenta missles, etc.,

Always Keep An Eye Out For Enemies

Ambushing an enemy is easy to do in Inkblot Art Academy because of the many obstacles on the stage. However, the opposite is also true. Enemies can easily catch you off guard too.

Always keep an eye out for enemies looking to ambush you to avoid being splatted.

Inking the enemy's base is always a good idea but getting there isn't easy.

Watch the video above to know how to invade the enemy's base and start inking their turf.
